Keyboard events

Question

How do I call a click event of the link, when some keyboard button is pressed?

I would like to call a next/previous page on Ctrl + → / Ctrl + ←

Answer 1

$(document).keydown(function(e) {
  if(e.ctrlKey){
     if(e.keyCode == 37){
        //ctrl + leftbutton pressed
        $("a.prevButton").trigger("click");
     }else if(e.keyCode == 39){
        //ctrl + rightbutton pressed
        $("a.nextButton").trigger("click");
     }
  }
});
